MOTUC Ram Man discussion thread

Apologies if there has been a thread like this before but I couldn't find one.

How do you want Ram Man to be made when he is eventually released? With spring legs like the original figure? Or moveable, articulated legs like the mini comic? Should he be short like the original or big and bulky like the mini comic?

If he's like the mini comic (which I want) won't he be the one figure in the line that is totally different from the original version whose legs were fused together and had a totally different sculpt from all the other figures (as if he really belonged in a different line)?

Yeah. No action feature getting in the way of his articualtion.

I think Ram Man should be just like all of the other figures and should have the same articulation. This Ram Man isn't the dwarf from Filmation, nor he be the huge linebacker from 200X. I think he should look like the 8 back. Chances are he'll come in orange and red, with a future bonus figure in red and green.

No, he won't have any spring action feature so he'll have two separate articulated legs as well as articulated arms. Like MGM said, he'll look like he did on the vintage cardback in the MOTUC style, of course.

Ram Man have to have an unique sculpture. His body is very diferent than Hemanīs one. Is like comparing Juggernaut with Wolverine. And please, with action feature. You only have to add a little spring...

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).

Toyguru/Mattel stated that since the line is doing so well that we will see more unique sculpts. I want the eight-back Ram-Man, and think most people would be happy with that. I AM DYING FOR THIS GUY! I could care less whether or not he has spring action.

Rammy will be great! I don't want any action feature on him, though. I want a poseable Ram Man. I'll take both colors (cardback and toy colors).

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

Did I read somewhere that Ram Man (like Battle Cat and Beast Man's whip) came from a different line originally and was just shoe-horned into the line as a new character? He looks extremely different from the other 80s MOTU figures.

Makes sense- and there's already a case of this happening in MOTU with Zoar (I believe she was from Big Jim's P.A.C.K.- a 70's toyline)... does anyone know?

Was just clearing it up for the ones that don`t know. Ram Man first appeared on the 12 back (series 2), there is no such thing as an 8 back illustration of Ram Man. Sorry but it kinda bothers me a bit when people are passing the wrong info, the people who weren`t around for the vintage stuff or are just getting into MOTU now should know that so they aren`t posting the wrong info they got from someone that didn`t know.

Hmm, the idea of a retooled 200X Ram-Man being re-released might actually work... maybe some new arms with MotUC style articulation, but the sculpt in general is very faithful to the original, and the action feature would be in-tact while keeping the costs down. Size-wise, he would be more the dwarf-sized Ram-Man, though.

No one wants the action feature. Even if they do, they're DEFINITELY in the minority.

I'm sure Mattel won't include the action feature.

Personally I believe they can probably use the standard buck body for Ram Man, but give him a rubber "skirt" piece around the legs and tool some new actual legs for him (but still MOTUC style) and save costs.

Then it's really only a new torso, head, legs and skirt attachment.

The legs could probably be reused in another figure.

Ram Man has to come along at some point as he was a pretty important character in my view. One of the essential MOTU figures in the early years.
